Thank you for check in! My spike has gone down. I am going back on zoloft, and the first week can be a bit of nightmare with anxiety.

I truly understand. I walk around with that fear a ton. Actually, before I found this forum I had no idea it could get louder. As for hyperacusis,...

So, on Saturday my spouse had me try and edible and it made my tinnitus crazy. It went down the next day but my anxiety was still awful. I took a...

And I stayed away from the hospital today. My therapist and husband told me to wait for my regular doctor tomorrow.

It hard at first. Your doctor will put you on 25mg for the first 7 days and that's a rough week. Your tinnitus will go up a bit but you have to...

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I am too just wanting to feel normal. My spouse is taking me to the hospital today. I haven't really been...

I just saw this but yes! Trying to cope with this all is not easy. I have my good and bad days.

I've been trying to do that and when I lay down at night before bed, its the only time I feel calm *knock on wood*. I read books to my son, talk...

Its happening to a lot of coworkers. They keep waking up or not sleeping. I managed to sort of sleep for while. My tinnitus went down but now I...

I am considering it. Another night of waking up around 3:47am and I have work today with loud T. Really hoping it will settle down.

Thank you, I like this very much. Tinnitus is better today but got a new speaker for sleep.

My tinnitus came on while tapering off of Clonazepam. It was glorious.

Tonight was kind of rough with work but the T did subside a little. Had a ton of anxiety before work. I make myself take my son on a walk around...

Any SSRI'S make me nervous. Like I'm signing up to eventually be put on several when one stops working. I'm sorry, I'm keeping an open mind but I...

Vertigo isn't a symptom of anxiety but I know some people who have said they got numb sensations on the face. Have they tested you for Meniere's...

Tinnitus, phobia and anxiety. Trying to keep it together through it all.

Several bad nights, feel like freaking out but am trying to stay calm. At work and it feels louder than when I was at home. I feel so damn...

It says its an antidepressant? How long have you been taking it? I had to be at 6am for work, so waking up at 5:22am wasn't awful but I hope I can...

And I want to point out that here in Colorado we are still on shut down and it makes it hard when you can't meet someone in person unless you want...

I don't intend to stop seeing my therapist. My doctor wants to put me on celexa. Literally her first response when I told her I was having anxiety...

I did but the lack of sleep and tinnitus flaring is really making me panic more.

I spoke to my therapist yesterday. It helped. Just this spike in tinnitus is making me feel hopeless. One thing at a time. Now its three things at...

We've been going on walks during my day off. The first couple of weeks I was really bad. Just shaking non stop. Barely eating. A week ago I was...

My spouse knows it really bothers me and doesn't mind when I play sounds off my phone. He's used to it. But every spouse is different. Maybe she...

Just be careful about some of the thoughts and advice in this thread. I was on clonazepam with my last pregnancy and tapered down and went on...

When I got tinnitus, I was married to an abusive asshole who made me feel awful. Like I said, a lot can change and you never know what could...

Everything hasn't been taken away! I got this at 27. It was so loud I could hear it over everything and I have it in both ears. Your life is no...

Just remember, stay calm. Take a shower. Turn on the TV and try and watch something. At this stage in our pregnancy it's so important to stay...

I've have had tinnitus for about 8 years and it was severe and down to moderate. My son is 3 and half years old and when I was pregnant it was...

Trust me, I understand. Mine is so bad I can hear it over everything. Except the shower. But when I was pregnant last time, it got so loud I could...

Unfortunately, I had tinnitus before I ever got pregnant. They tapered me off a medication and I hit my third trimester and it went through the...

I get the thumping in my left ear too! If I try and fall asleep on that ear against the pillow or even stranger if I put a head phone in my right...

Its been a rough week. I'm pregnant again and terribly scared. My tinnitus turned into a monster during my last trimester. However, things that...

It was horrible the first month or two. It's back to tolerable and seems to spike before I menstruate and go back down again. I struggle sometimes...

I'm going through the same thing. My ears have been going nuts for a couple of weeks. But my diet has been crap and anytime I fall back on a...

@Matt9 Is there any way you can speak to a nutritioist? I work at a place called Natutal Grocers and we have one on staff that customers can speak...

In the same boat. My tinnitus spiked tonight. Trying to relax so I can fall asleep. You just need to remind yourself that it will lower again and...

@Sonic17 how loud is your Tinnitus? Can you mask it with the TV or shower? Do you hear it over everything? Have you tried white noise at night to...

You really need to seek help. I understand this noise is awful and none of us want to live with it but you must. Sometimes medication can take...

I lost 89 pounds eating better. Became more aware of what I put in my body. Starting reading labels and avoiding so many harmful things.

@fishbone you're an awesome person. I appreciate the support you've given me. Maybe do something that is quieter for now like yoga and bike...

@hartje5 i know how you feel. Last year, right before i gave birth to my son i was getting a bunch of crap from my employer. Little to no...

I started Zoloft when I was pregnant. It only takes the edge off of T but helps me cope. I have panic disorder and unfortunately the T sends me...

I've definitely learned that I can cope with some really awful stuff. But it has robbed me of some happy moments. I don't like how every moment is...

@Kiyan I can imagine. I have my moments but I know that the more upset I get, the louder the noise in my head gets and my anxiety can really take...

First, you need to calm down. Freaking out will only make your tinnitus worse and make you feel worse. Drink a cup of chamomile tea and take a...

@friend seriously try clonazepam. It will lower your T and help you get through this dark time. You shouldn't end your life. I've often thought...

I wish it was attention that I craved. Being curled up in a ball crying over my T during my pregnancy begging for spouse to kill me wasn't how I...

@Tinker Bell I'm sorry it's happening for you too. It's the worst way to wake up. I immediately panic and wake my spouse up. He tries to talk me...

@Samantha R and @Tinker Bell thank you for your thoughts and experiences. I would try sleeping on the couch @Tinker Bell but my son will wake up...

@Jantine you just need to try and remain calm. I do breathing exercises and try to distract myself. I've had a couple of loud episodes at night, I...
